Tub few persona who may have liap-penexUo let' IheCincinnatiGazctteof yesterday should not allow themselves to be misled into supposing that Policy Bill Smith is Deacon Smith. Our friend the Deacon bears the untarnished name of Richard. This warning seems necessary on account of the warm championship of Policy Bill by yesterday's Gazette. ' But it should be remembered that the wicked partners never allow anything to be said O" behalf of that patient Christian sufferer, Deacon Richard Smith, whom it coldly describe as "a writer on The Gazette." : . . The President, the State Department and the Postoffice Department are an-Myed bjeiicc-selMH,iud "overwhelmed by applications fentfee- For the benefit of those whom it mar concern, the State Department announces that it lias at " vacancy the mission M Bogota r"1ri u h not P" competition, as ft will be tilled by an appointment from the Booth.

CjN? i'Tfty'y sentiment seepijjo be the more railroads the batter." As a general proposition we are' disposed to admit this, because we see that those cities which encourage railroads are' the cities which get ahead in population and wealth. But it must be remembered that there is a vast difference between an actual, working railroad, and a railroad tehmu, that it is the road which accomplishes the desired reeultsnnd notlj tjio, Issuing of doitds; and while it may no irue mni "inc more railroads the better,", is .a eapital motto for an enterprising city like ours, it by no means follows that we are to invest onr .nioncy in any and every railroad scheme that comes along, no matter how plausible it may appear. The fact ir, this matter of building and operating railroads Is tt science by ltBelf, and there are comparatively few men of sufficient experience in it even to decide intelligently upon the. . merits or probable result of a proposed enter prise. " It can't bo picked up 'in a day, but, like any oUier great business, must be leariml through hard work and long experience ; while, on the other hand, almost anybody can throw up a road bed, lay track, and sign receipts for municipal bonds. It seems as if, under the plausible cry of "the more railroads the better," we are in danger of becoming involved in heavy debt for mere schemes, or, at least, foren-terprises which will not be found to possess the elements of success, either because possessed of n6 merit themselves, or lo calise they are not backed with the capi tal, and experience required for their proper completion and management. Wo ought not to pnt, our money into any concern that does not give conclusive assurauoo n its ability to furnish us first-class railroad. A crippled, half- built, illy-managed road would be nothing but a nuisance ; and it is so easy for our bonds to be spirited away, leaving nothing to show for them but patoh.es of "road bed" and half-finished culverts along the line of an abandoned and hopelessly insolvent road. j Thhj has been the sad experience of many counttes and townships, which did not slop to find out the difference between A bona fide railroad, based upuu n busi ness which would justify it, and backed up by capital, and a nckcine, based upon somebody's theories or selfish interests, and backed up by municipal bonds only. Tho recent call upon us for $30,0,000 more, to be donated to the "West line" of tho Toledo and Columbus Railroad company, seems to present a fitting occasion for deliberate examination into the sub ject ... No ono denies that a good, well man aged railroad from this city to Toledo would be of great benefit to us, upon irv route: and it is also conceded that such a road will cost, in round numbers, about $4,000,000. Of this sum we are now asked to give $300,000. C Now, the question is, where is the bal ance of $3,700,000 to come from ? Who are the men that are going to raise it and build the road ? Iq other, words, where is the capital, the indispensable skill and business Character coming from to carry on the enterprise and insure its success I These are matters that cannot be too I carefully considered before voting away our money'.' ' ' " Two .companies ace offering to build this road. One, the Toledo and Colum bus, on the "West line," for which our money it asked ; the.otbsr, the Columbus and Toledo, which proposes to build on the "East line," itstf, without asking the city for a dollar or a bond. This would seem sufficient to settle the question. If we can have tho road for nothing, why expend $300,000 for another road between the same points? ' ISirt if it bo claimed that the West line affords advantages which would justify the expenditure of so much money, what assurance have we that it will be built who is going to do it where is the $3,700,000 coming from, and what guaranty have we that our bonds will not be used, and finally no road completed and put in operation ? We havo announced, on the authority of g telegram, and we also see by recent advices from Toledo, that the peoplo. of that city have refused to accept the West line, although its lead ing promoters ait citizens of Toledo, and have announced in formal speeches, that the " West line " would be substantially a Toledo road, managed and controlled at Toledo, by Toledo men, while the " East line" would be a Columbus road, managed and controlled at Columbus; yet, notwithstanding all the arguments end influences (not light nor few) brought to bear, the City Council ol Toledo, at its meeting last Saturday might, by a vote of 12 to 3, unhesitatingly adopted the East line, and directed that their money should be invested there. Now, there certainly must be good and sufficient reasons for this, and it behooves us to investigate the matter with the utmost care, as the City Council of Toledo has done, 'before investing our money, to see that it goes into a "live" concern, which gives positive assurance of success and the completion of a good rood within a reasonable time. - - MtLsMEKH' HOIK Vwl'INW lBE- . .... . iM-r.

One Delegate from Knox. To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : ModntVernos, Ohio, March 31, 1873. I notice a telegram In this morning's State Journal which is calculated to mislead the public as to the candidates in Knox county, for the Constitutional Con vention, i After announcing that Hon. II. B. Curtis, at the urgent solicitation of many personal friends irrespective of party has consented to allow his name to he presented for this office, The telegram says: "With such men as Henry B. Curtis and Richard A. Tulloss, the people of Knox county may be proud of their candidates," &a -implying there are two delegates to bo chosen from this county of equal qualification irrespective of party. The fact is, Knox county has but one delegate, and our old citizens of all parties, have solicited H. B. Curtis to be the delegate, knowing his superior qualifications for the office. Truly yours, W. T. Bascom. We are glad to learn that at the solic itation of many citizens of all parties, the Hon. Henry B. Curtis has consented to be an independent candidate for delegate to the Constitutional Convention from Knox county. We sincerely hope that the intelligent citizens of Knox county, without regard to party, will unite in securtng his triumphant election. We havo no acquaintance with Mr. Tulloss, the opposing candidate, but do not understand that his friends claim for him any special qualifications for tho position, while wo do believe that the mature judgment, legal learning, extensive public experience and strict integrity of Mr. Curtis will make him ono of the most valuable members of the Convention.We are Gelling this thins Ntrnlght, Now. From the Sunday Commercial. Wo understand the editor of tho Ohio State Journal to apologizo to Deacon Richard Smith for the mistake that he made in the declaration that he was accosted by the Deacon when on a visit to the club-house presided over by Bolly Iwis. The editor of the Journal nuts jhc case iiiterwgatlvcly as follows : "Have we been deceived I Is not Deacon Smith a man with nn inllamed face covered with pimples, like huckleberries in a pudding? Hasn't lie large ears, and sandpapered red hair, and don't he wear a red necktie and a bull-terrier at his left leg? We should know that terrier anywhere a tight-cruppered little fellow with a big head, who walks like Ben. Butler, and looks as if ho had been stuffed into a skin that was too small for him, so that it couldn't be brought over the teeth of his lower jaw, and niado his tail stand out like a jib-boom. We refer to the bull-dog, not the Deacon. Do yon mean to say that this was not Deacon Smith? We refer to the man, not the dog. Then we have been deceived." By keeping clearly in one's mind the distinction between the man and the dog, there is no difficulty in becoming positive that this man was not Deacon Smith. He never wore a bull-terrier at his left leg in his life. We have heard a rumor that he hated dogs, bob-tailed or otherwise. The utter deception of the editor of the Journal is apparent lo every well informed and unprejudiced observer. The Connecticut election will be held next Thursday, April 7th, and as the State is nearly evenly balanced, theresult will be anticipated with interest by the politicians. The campaign lias not' been an active one, and a full vote is not expected. For Governor, the candidates are Henry P. Haven, Republican, and Chas. R. Ingersoll, Democrat. Four members of Congress are to be chosen, the four members of tho last House from Connecticut being all candidates forre-election Hawley, Kellogg and Starkweather, Republicans, and Barnuni, Democrat. Ex-Governor English is the Democratic candidate against Kellogg. The employes of the New York Gas companies made arrangements Monday evening for a strike should the companies not concede their demand for eight hours and the following rates: Stokers $3.50, and helpers $3 per day.

Halifax, N. S., April 1. Tho steam ship Atlantic, of the White Star line, from Liverpool March 20 for New York, running short'Of coil, made for Halifax, and when about twenty miles from this port, off Cape Prospect, at 2:30 o'clock this morning, she ran ashore on Meagher's Head. She had on board over one thou sand men, women and children, only two hundred and fifty of whom succeeded in landing ; the remainder, including all the women and children, were lost. The captain and third officer were saved, and the first officer was drowned. On the first receipt of the news of the disaster, a Cunard and Government steamers were started to the- assistance of the Atlantic, but the third officer, who arrived here at 5:30 this afternoon, says the vessel and cargo aro a total loss. IPccoud Difijiiitcli.l Halifax, March 1. The Whito Star steamer Atlantic, Captain Williams, from Liverpool for New Y'ork, while coming into this port for coal,struck on Meagher's Rock, near Prospect, twenty-two miles west of Halifax, and became a total wreck. Of about one thousand souls ou board, upward of seven hundred were drowned. Tho third officer, Brady, arrived in this city this evening. He says that tho Atlantic left Liverpool on tho 20th of March, with upward of nine hundred steerage passengers, and about fifty cabin passengers. The steamer experienced boisterous weather during the passage, but nil went well until noon of Monday, the 31st, when the supply of coal became nearly exhausted, when the captain determined to put into Halifax. Tho captain and third officer were on deck until midnight. Tho position was then judged to be sambro light, bearing N. N. W. 80 miles, The Captain then went into his chart room, leaving orders to bo called if there was any change in the vessel's position. They went to bed about the same time as the Captain, and the next thing that he remembers is, that he wus thrown out of his bunk, and he heard the ship strike several times. He then rushed on deck and found tho Captain and officers tliere, and the deck full of passengers. He got an axe and commenced to clear away a boat; the captain and other offi cers were busy doing the same thing. Brady got this boat out and put. two women in it. A number of men attempted to get into it,and about a dozen succeeded. Just at that moment the steamer fell over ou her beam end and sank. Only one boat had been got out, and that was car ried down by the steamer and all on it were lost, Brady scrambled into the mizzen rig ging which was above water, and seeing that he could do nothing there he then went forward and unmoved the halliards, being assisted by quartermasters Spearman and Omun. Brady then took the halliards and all three swam to a rock, and then n line was hauled ashore and a number of passengers landed by it. A number had got on a rock, but as the tide was rising, their position was no better than nn the vessel. Just then some fishermen on shore came out in boats, and those on t' e rock and a large number from the r.gging were saved. Brady remained at the scene until noon to-day, when all who were alive on board had been taken from the wreck, except the chief officer, Mr. Frith, who was in the rigging shouting for help. Brady says he tried to get a crew to go to the rescue of Frith, but the sea was so heavy nobody would volunteer. Altogether about 250 persons were saved, including Captain Williams; also, the fourth officer, Mr. Brown, and several of the engineers and sailors. Not a single woman or child was saved, most of them, as well as hundreds of men, drowned in their berths. The steamer struck about two o'clock this morning. Tho weather at the time was dark, but not thick, and the sea rough. Steamers are going down tonight to render what assistance they can. All the people saved from the wreck, with the exception of Brady, are still at Prospect, where fishermen are giving them all the attention they possibly can. A Surveying Party Murdered by Cheyenne Indians. Leavenworth, April 1. Tho Times publishes a full account of the massacre of the surveyors, which took place March 1!) on Cinnamon River.

Kivington streets about seven o'clock in the evening; met him by agreement; it was about nine o'clock when he left; that was at No. 40 Rivington street; he was in the habit of calling on her at her residence, No. 13 Stanton street; he there made the acquaintance of John L. Beach, sometimes called Henry Beach, and RoBcoe; never saw them in company together: heard Jum-apealtail. Roscoe and say he was a dangerous man ; there had been disturbance between them; it was in the evening in the apartments in Stanton street; Goodrich, Roscoe and Beach were present; thought Roscoe was talking about Goodrich; they talked very loud and she took Goodrich by the arm and led him into another room; Roscoe asked afterwards it she intended to keep com. pany with Goodrich and said he would be even with her. ile atterward spoke of it but she could not remember; what was said was sufficient to indicate be hod any unfriendly feelings, but never heard mm make any threats toward him; heard him say "God help the person who comes between you and me. " tins was alter the quarrel, aBbut two weeks before his death; never heard Ros coe say that he knew where Goodrich lived; never remember telling mm. Kos- coe carried a pistol. I asked him if be was married, and he said no. Witness saw Koscoe Saturday night after Goodrich's death, and told her he was going to Philadelphia; he sometimes went to Baltimore and New Orleans; she didn't think he intended to leave the city; Koscoe wanted to call at her house, but she told him she didn't want him to call; had known Roscoe five or six months; heard him say he had been in Brooklyn: never told her what his business was; thought he was a countertenor, as he wanted to assist her by giving her counterfeit money to pass ; he said it was the best business out. 1 irst learned of Goodrich's death at ro. 22 Orchard street; might have been Friday morning ; saw Roscoe the Saturday after at 4(i Penington street ; saw him on the sidewalk ; he said lie was going to Baltimore : made him no reply. I had been to Goodrich's house in Degraw street, but never remained in the house at night ; don't know whether Roscoe had ever been arrested or not; first saw Goodrich in Brooklyn : saw him near the ferry ; he stepped on her dress, begged her pardon, and then followed her on the bout and continued talking to her; she made no reply; he followed her home and asked her it she didn't want a boarder, saying that he oould give tho best of reference ; they then became acquainted; she was not intimately acquainted with Roscoe, and there was no reason for bis becoming jealous of Goodrich.

The pistol she saw in Roscoe's pocket was larger than the one found in Goodrich's house; she went with Goodrich frequently to the theatre; she went with him Thursday before the murder to Broadway and to Central Park, and rode back; met Goodrich some time ago at 302 Broadway; a gentleman came in and said, "Here is Charley again; I will make it all right;" Goodrich never proposed marriage to her. To a question whv she did not give the authorities information immediately on hearing of the case, witness stated she had no reason. When witness found that her boarding-house did not pay, Goodrich advised her to give it up, and offered to pay her rent provided she would live m private apartments. Weather Probabilities. Washington, April 1, The storm center in Indiana will move during the rest ot iuesday night northeastward over the lower lakes, and on Wednesday down the St. Lawrence valley, and extending somewhat westward over New York and New England; for the Southern States southeasterly winds, with clouds and rain during the rest of Tuesday night, contin uing Wednesday morning, wall possibly southerly gales on the coost ; for New Eu-gland falling barometer, easterly winds, clouds and rain. A severe storm will continue over the lake region during Tuesday night, and over the iower lakes Wednesday nioniinc. but followed on the upper lakes by diminishing Northwest winds and clearing weather. A second storm of equal severity is apparently ap proaching Dakato and Manitoba. Arrest of a Person Supposed to be Roscoe, the Murderer or Goodrich Philadelphia, April 1. A man sup posed to be Roscoe, tbe murderer of Goodrich, was arrested here to-day, and as he thoroughly answers the description given, it is supposed he is the guilty party.

The tornado that swept through Canton, Miss., Saturday, was the most terrible in its destructive effects that ever visited this section of the country. Dark omenous clouds presaged a thunder storm, but noone had (he least idea that such an awful visitation was nt hand as burst upon the doomed place. The hurricane struck the city about eight o'clock, and for about twenty minutes it seemed as if all the vengeance of the storm king had concentrated in the one fell swoop. Houses were utterly demolished and blown away, leaving bare walls standing, twisted and distorted in all man ners and shapes. Brick walls, buildings and solid chimneys were blown down, and missiles were hurled through the air.such as bricks and pieces of wood, with fearful force. The occasion, altogether, beinrars description. Dwelling houses were mere heaps of umDers, ana Kitcnens and outhouses were blown absolutely nwav. Ynrils warn Bwept clean of every living thing. Poultry and dogs all vanished utterly. Sub stantial dwellings were torn from their toundations, and heavily laden cars were blown from the track. Huge pieces of lumber were carried many hundred yards and buried, when they fell, In the earth. Women with infants in their arms went about the streets distracted, not knowing wnere to go. it is indeed miraculous, that in all the destruction of homes. where houses with families in them were so destroyed that not one stone was left upon another, that only one life was lost. There were many miraculousescanesfrom sudden and frightful death. A number of persons were injured more or less. There is no calculating now the amount of damage done to property. Bouie thirty or more houses were de stroyed, and a larger number badly dam aged, une negro woman lost her child. and it was only found to-day at a house some distance removed from its home, where it had been kindly cared for. it was not much hurt In its perilous ride on tne wuiriwind. A negro man is reported missing, as are also one or two nezro chil dren, tt is wonderful that so few persons were hurt, and it seems that the same hand that had sent the tornado was spe cially interposed for the protection of the helpless and distressed persons. 1'erhaps tho number of fifteen will cover tbe number of the injured, and most of these are but slightly hurt. JSo estimate can as vet be civen of tho amount of damage sustained from tho loss of property, but it is believed $100,000 will fall short of covering it.

The importance of thorough local organization cannot be too strongly urged ; nor can this ?;reat auxiliary to final success be too early at-ended to. In this connection, the committee would ea.nestly recommend that, where i'ouuty committees have not already been selected, that in the call for County Conventions, on the loth day of May, notice be given that tbe County Central committees, for the coming cam-nairni. will be selected at that time.

Tub few persona who may have liap-penexUo let' IheCincinnatiGazctteof yesterday should not allow themselves to be misled into supposing that Policy Bill Smith is Deacon Smith. Our friend the Deacon bears the untarnished name of Richard. This warning seems necessary on account of the warm championship of Policy Bill by yesterday's Gazette. ' But it should be remembered that the wicked partners never allow anything to be said O" behalf of that patient Christian sufferer, Deacon Richard Smith, whom it coldly describe as "a writer on The Gazette." : . . The President, the State Department and the Postoffice Department are an-Myed bjeiicc-selMH,iud "overwhelmed by applications fentfee- For the benefit of those whom it mar concern, the State Department announces that it lias at " vacancy the mission M Bogota r"1ri u h not P" competition, as ft will be tilled by an appointment from the Booth.

CjN? i'Tfty'y sentiment seepijjo be the more railroads the batter." As a general proposition we are' disposed to admit this, because we see that those cities which encourage railroads are' the cities which get ahead in population and wealth. But it must be remembered that there is a vast difference between an actual, working railroad, and a railroad tehmu, that it is the road which accomplishes the desired reeultsnnd notlj tjio, Issuing of doitds; and while it may no irue mni "inc more railroads the better,", is .a eapital motto for an enterprising city like ours, it by no means follows that we are to invest onr .nioncy in any and every railroad scheme that comes along, no matter how plausible it may appear. The fact ir, this matter of building and operating railroads Is tt science by ltBelf, and there are comparatively few men of sufficient experience in it even to decide intelligently upon the. . merits or probable result of a proposed enter prise. " It can't bo picked up 'in a day, but, like any oUier great business, must be leariml through hard work and long experience ; while, on the other hand, almost anybody can throw up a road bed, lay track, and sign receipts for municipal bonds. It seems as if, under the plausible cry of "the more railroads the better," we are in danger of becoming involved in heavy debt for mere schemes, or, at least, foren-terprises which will not be found to possess the elements of success, either because possessed of n6 merit themselves, or lo calise they are not backed with the capi tal, and experience required for their proper completion and management. Wo ought not to pnt, our money into any concern that does not give conclusive assurauoo n its ability to furnish us first-class railroad. A crippled, half- built, illy-managed road would be nothing but a nuisance ; and it is so easy for our bonds to be spirited away, leaving nothing to show for them but patoh.es of "road bed" and half-finished culverts along the line of an abandoned and hopelessly insolvent road. j Thhj has been the sad experience of many counttes and townships, which did not slop to find out the difference between A bona fide railroad, based upuu n busi ness which would justify it, and backed up by capital, and a nckcine, based upon somebody's theories or selfish interests, and backed up by municipal bonds only. Tho recent call upon us for $30,0,000 more, to be donated to the "West line" of tho Toledo and Columbus Railroad company, seems to present a fitting occasion for deliberate examination into the sub ject ... No ono denies that a good, well man aged railroad from this city to Toledo would be of great benefit to us, upon irv route: and it is also conceded that such a road will cost, in round numbers, about $4,000,000. Of this sum we are now asked to give $300,000. C Now, the question is, where is the bal ance of $3,700,000 to come from ? Who are the men that are going to raise it and build the road ? Iq other, words, where is the capital, the indispensable skill and business Character coming from to carry on the enterprise and insure its success I These are matters that cannot be too I carefully considered before voting away our money'.' ' ' " Two .companies ace offering to build this road. One, the Toledo and Colum bus, on the "West line," for which our money it asked ; the.otbsr, the Columbus and Toledo, which proposes to build on the "East line," itstf, without asking the city for a dollar or a bond. This would seem sufficient to settle the question. If we can have tho road for nothing, why expend $300,000 for another road between the same points? ' ISirt if it bo claimed that the West line affords advantages which would justify the expenditure of so much money, what assurance have we that it will be built who is going to do it where is the $3,700,000 coming from, and what guaranty have we that our bonds will not be used, and finally no road completed and put in operation ? We havo announced, on the authority of g telegram, and we also see by recent advices from Toledo, that the peoplo. of that city have refused to accept the West line, although its lead ing promoters ait citizens of Toledo, and have announced in formal speeches, that the " West line " would be substantially a Toledo road, managed and controlled at Toledo, by Toledo men, while the " East line" would be a Columbus road, managed and controlled at Columbus; yet, notwithstanding all the arguments end influences (not light nor few) brought to bear, the City Council ol Toledo, at its meeting last Saturday might, by a vote of 12 to 3, unhesitatingly adopted the East line, and directed that their money should be invested there. Now, there certainly must be good and sufficient reasons for this, and it behooves us to investigate the matter with the utmost care, as the City Council of Toledo has done, 'before investing our money, to see that it goes into a "live" concern, which gives positive assurance of success and the completion of a good rood within a reasonable time. - - MtLsMEKH' HOIK Vwl'INW lBE- . .... . iM-r.

One Delegate from Knox. To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : ModntVernos, Ohio, March 31, 1873. I notice a telegram In this morning's State Journal which is calculated to mislead the public as to the candidates in Knox county, for the Constitutional Con vention, i After announcing that Hon. II. B. Curtis, at the urgent solicitation of many personal friends irrespective of party has consented to allow his name to he presented for this office, The telegram says: "With such men as Henry B. Curtis and Richard A. Tulloss, the people of Knox county may be proud of their candidates," &a -implying there are two delegates to bo chosen from this county of equal qualification irrespective of party. The fact is, Knox county has but one delegate, and our old citizens of all parties, have solicited H. B. Curtis to be the delegate, knowing his superior qualifications for the office. Truly yours, W. T. Bascom. We are glad to learn that at the solic itation of many citizens of all parties, the Hon. Henry B. Curtis has consented to be an independent candidate for delegate to the Constitutional Convention from Knox county. We sincerely hope that the intelligent citizens of Knox county, without regard to party, will unite in securtng his triumphant election. We havo no acquaintance with Mr. Tulloss, the opposing candidate, but do not understand that his friends claim for him any special qualifications for tho position, while wo do believe that the mature judgment, legal learning, extensive public experience and strict integrity of Mr. Curtis will make him ono of the most valuable members of the Convention.We are Gelling this thins Ntrnlght, Now. From the Sunday Commercial. Wo understand the editor of tho Ohio State Journal to apologizo to Deacon Richard Smith for the mistake that he made in the declaration that he was accosted by the Deacon when on a visit to the club-house presided over by Bolly Iwis. The editor of the Journal nuts jhc case iiiterwgatlvcly as follows : "Have we been deceived I Is not Deacon Smith a man with nn inllamed face covered with pimples, like huckleberries in a pudding? Hasn't lie large ears, and sandpapered red hair, and don't he wear a red necktie and a bull-terrier at his left leg? We should know that terrier anywhere a tight-cruppered little fellow with a big head, who walks like Ben. Butler, and looks as if ho had been stuffed into a skin that was too small for him, so that it couldn't be brought over the teeth of his lower jaw, and niado his tail stand out like a jib-boom. We refer to the bull-dog, not the Deacon. Do yon mean to say that this was not Deacon Smith? We refer to the man, not the dog. Then we have been deceived." By keeping clearly in one's mind the distinction between the man and the dog, there is no difficulty in becoming positive that this man was not Deacon Smith. He never wore a bull-terrier at his left leg in his life. We have heard a rumor that he hated dogs, bob-tailed or otherwise. The utter deception of the editor of the Journal is apparent lo every well informed and unprejudiced observer. The Connecticut election will be held next Thursday, April 7th, and as the State is nearly evenly balanced, theresult will be anticipated with interest by the politicians. The campaign lias not' been an active one, and a full vote is not expected. For Governor, the candidates are Henry P. Haven, Republican, and Chas. R. Ingersoll, Democrat. Four members of Congress are to be chosen, the four members of tho last House from Connecticut being all candidates forre-election Hawley, Kellogg and Starkweather, Republicans, and Barnuni, Democrat. Ex-Governor English is the Democratic candidate against Kellogg.

Halifax, N. S., April 1. Tho steam ship Atlantic, of the White Star line, from Liverpool March 20 for New York, running short'Of coil, made for Halifax, and when about twenty miles from this port, off Cape Prospect, at 2:30 o'clock this morning, she ran ashore on Meagher's Head. She had on board over one thou sand men, women and children, only two hundred and fifty of whom succeeded in landing ; the remainder, including all the women and children, were lost. The captain and third officer were saved, and the first officer was drowned. On the first receipt of the news of the disaster, a Cunard and Government steamers were started to the- assistance of the Atlantic, but the third officer, who arrived here at 5:30 this afternoon, says the vessel and cargo aro a total loss. IPccoud Difijiiitcli.l Halifax, March 1. The Whito Star steamer Atlantic, Captain Williams, from Liverpool for New Y'ork, while coming into this port for coal,struck on Meagher's Rock, near Prospect, twenty-two miles west of Halifax, and became a total wreck. Of about one thousand souls ou board, upward of seven hundred were drowned. Tho third officer, Brady, arrived in this city this evening. He says that tho Atlantic left Liverpool on tho 20th of March, with upward of nine hundred steerage passengers, and about fifty cabin passengers. The steamer experienced boisterous weather during the passage, but nil went well until noon of Monday, the 31st, when the supply of coal became nearly exhausted, when the captain determined to put into Halifax. Tho captain and third officer were on deck until midnight. Tho position was then judged to be sambro light, bearing N. N. W. 80 miles, The Captain then went into his chart room, leaving orders to bo called if there was any change in the vessel's position. They went to bed about the same time as the Captain, and the next thing that he remembers is, that he wus thrown out of his bunk, and he heard the ship strike several times. He then rushed on deck and found tho Captain and officers tliere, and the deck full of passengers. He got an axe and commenced to clear away a boat; the captain and other offi cers were busy doing the same thing. Brady got this boat out and put. two women in it. A number of men attempted to get into it,and about a dozen succeeded. Just at that moment the steamer fell over ou her beam end and sank. Only one boat had been got out, and that was car ried down by the steamer and all on it were lost, Brady scrambled into the mizzen rig ging which was above water, and seeing that he could do nothing there he then went forward and unmoved the halliards, being assisted by quartermasters Spearman and Omun. Brady then took the halliards and all three swam to a rock, and then n line was hauled ashore and a number of passengers landed by it. A number had got on a rock, but as the tide was rising, their position was no better than nn the vessel. Just then some fishermen on shore came out in boats, and those on t' e rock and a large number from the r.gging were saved. Brady remained at the scene until noon to-day, when all who were alive on board had been taken from the wreck, except the chief officer, Mr. Frith, who was in the rigging shouting for help. Brady says he tried to get a crew to go to the rescue of Frith, but the sea was so heavy nobody would volunteer. Altogether about 250 persons were saved, including Captain Williams; also, the fourth officer, Mr. Brown, and several of the engineers and sailors. Not a single woman or child was saved, most of them, as well as hundreds of men, drowned in their berths. The steamer struck about two o'clock this morning. Tho weather at the time was dark, but not thick, and the sea rough. Steamers are going down tonight to render what assistance they can. All the people saved from the wreck, with the exception of Brady, are still at Prospect, where fishermen are giving them all the attention they possibly can.

Beach, sometimes called Henry Beach, and RoBcoe; never saw them in company together: heard Jum-apealtail. Roscoe and say he was a dangerous man ; there had been disturbance between them; it was in the evening in the apartments in Stanton street; Goodrich, Roscoe and Beach were present; thought Roscoe was talking about Goodrich; they talked very loud and she took Goodrich by the arm and led him into another room; Roscoe asked afterwards it she intended to keep com. pany with Goodrich and said he would be even with her. ile atterward spoke of it but she could not remember; what was said was sufficient to indicate be hod any unfriendly feelings, but never heard mm make any threats toward him; heard him say "God help the person who comes between you and me. " tins was alter the quarrel, aBbut two weeks before his death; never heard Ros coe say that he knew where Goodrich lived; never remember telling mm. Kos- coe carried a pistol. I asked him if be was married, and he said no. Witness saw Koscoe Saturday night after Goodrich's death, and told her he was going to Philadelphia; he sometimes went to Baltimore and New Orleans; she didn't think he intended to leave the city; Koscoe wanted to call at her house, but she told him she didn't want him to call; had known Roscoe five or six months; heard him say he had been in Brooklyn: never told her what his business was; thought he was a countertenor, as he wanted to assist her by giving her counterfeit money to pass ; he said it was the best business out. 1 irst learned of Goodrich's death at ro. 22 Orchard street; might have been Friday morning ; saw Roscoe the Saturday after at 4(i Penington street ; saw him on the sidewalk ; he said lie was going to Baltimore : made him no reply.

Washington, April 1, The storm center in Indiana will move during the rest ot iuesday night northeastward over the lower lakes, and on Wednesday down the St. Lawrence valley, and extending somewhat westward over New York and New England; for the Southern States southeasterly winds, with clouds and rain during the rest of Tuesday night, contin uing Wednesday morning, wall possibly southerly gales on the coost ; for New Eu-gland falling barometer, easterly winds, clouds and rain. A severe storm will continue over the lake region during Tuesday night, and over the iower lakes Wednesday nioniinc. but followed on the upper lakes by diminishing Northwest winds and clearing weather. A second storm of equal severity is apparently ap proaching Dakato and Manitoba. Arrest of a Person Supposed to be Roscoe, the Murderer or Goodrich Philadelphia, April 1.

The tornado that swept through Canton, Miss., Saturday, was the most terrible in its destructive effects that ever visited this section of the country. Dark omenous clouds presaged a thunder storm, but noone had (he least idea that such an awful visitation was nt hand as burst upon the doomed place. The hurricane struck the city about eight o'clock, and for about twenty minutes it seemed as if all the vengeance of the storm king had concentrated in the one fell swoop. Houses were utterly demolished and blown away, leaving bare walls standing, twisted and distorted in all man ners and shapes. Brick walls, buildings and solid chimneys were blown down, and missiles were hurled through the air.such as bricks and pieces of wood, with fearful force. The occasion, altogether, beinrars description. Dwelling houses were mere heaps of umDers, ana Kitcnens and outhouses were blown absolutely nwav. Ynrils warn Bwept clean of every living thing. Poultry and dogs all vanished utterly. Sub stantial dwellings were torn from their toundations, and heavily laden cars were blown from the track. Huge pieces of lumber were carried many hundred yards and buried, when they fell, In the earth. Women with infants in their arms went about the streets distracted, not knowing wnere to go. it is indeed miraculous, that in all the destruction of homes. where houses with families in them were so destroyed that not one stone was left upon another, that only one life was lost. There were many miraculousescanesfrom sudden and frightful death. A number of persons were injured more or less. There is no calculating now the amount of damage done to property. Bouie thirty or more houses were de stroyed, and a larger number badly dam aged, une negro woman lost her child. and it was only found to-day at a house some distance removed from its home, where it had been kindly cared for. it was not much hurt In its perilous ride on tne wuiriwind. A negro man is reported missing, as are also one or two nezro chil dren, tt is wonderful that so few persons were hurt, and it seems that the same hand that had sent the tornado was spe cially interposed for the protection of the helpless and distressed persons. 1'erhaps tho number of fifteen will cover tbe number of the injured, and most of these are but slightly hurt. JSo estimate can as vet be civen of tho amount of damage sustained from tho loss of property, but it is believed $100,000 will fall short of covering it. We learn that Mrs. Howcott, Mr. John Howcott's mother, was severely injured, havimr been caught in the fulling building, and she was only rescued lrom being burned, in the ruins by some gentlemen who were passing at the time. She states that the building was struck by lightning and thus set on fire. A little later and the skies were pcr- lectiy clear, and the stars looked serenely down upon the scene of destruction below.
